Whether you’re a builder, installer or architect, this guide walks you through every stage of built-in installation for the Motion Electric Fireplace. From preparing your framed opening to hardwiring, fitting and finishing, you’ll find clear, sequential steps to achieve a seamless, design-quality result.

1. Determine the desired installation style (see “Built-In Installation Styles”).

i. See “Wall Mounted Installation” for wall mounting the fireplace.

ii. See “Partial Recessed Installation” for partial recessing the fireplace.

2. Prepare the framed opening according to the “Framed Opening Dimensions” chart and the installation style that was selected. Ensure an appropriate dedicated power circuit is provided at the top right of the framed opening.

3. Remove the front glass. See “Glass Removal/Installation”.

4. Install the “L” Metal Nailing Flanges to both the top and bottom of the fireplace (Fig. 2-1). Quantities of “L” Metal Nailing Flanges will change depending on fireplace size ordered. Note that the location of the “L” bracket will change if partial installation is chosen.

5. Remove the two side skirts (fig 2-2), one from both sides of the fireplace, and the wall mount bracket from the back (Fig. 2-3). Store all items in a safe place.

7. Hardwire the fireplace to the dedicated power circuit (see “Hardwiring Installation”).

8. Install the fireplace in the framed opening. Adjust the adjustable feet as needed to ensure the fireplace is level.

9. Fasten the fireplace to the framing using the “L” Metal Nailing Flanges and drywall screws that have a minimum length of 1-1/4” (Fig 2-5).

10. Mask the exposed viewing area of the fireplace prior to texturing/finalizing the framed wall.

11. Decorate according to media installation guide.
